It pays a portion sure, but it is far less than it used to be. When you consider the evolution of the system for the past 50 years, the writing is on the wall. Profit driven Healthcare as we know in the US will end. It is simply inefficient at doing the job it is supposed to be doing, much as how planned economies always fail for performing much the same way. Question is how.

If it is going to follow out approach to decarbonization, it will be maintained at ever increasing cost until finally someone finds a better way or reality crushes it all like a tin can at depth. People will wonder, point fingers, and blame some outside source. In truth, it's all because we as Americans are lazy proud ass holes who seem to enjoy being repeatedly anally raped by guys in suits because anything less is socialism that is somehow and intrinsically un-American. Americans are inept idiots with barely enough competent people around them to hold it all together.

It's hilarious how people used to hold up the ideal of the industrialist hero who made a fortune making the world work. In reality, the true force was all those lower than dirt people toiling away their lives. They are the ones who made America. All the names you hear, they are all filthy thieves. Should be a wall of shame. No, America celebrates the con artists who do shit but receive all the benefit. Fucking joke.
